Creators Syndicate (a.k.a. Creators) is an American independent distributor of comic strips and syndicated columns to daily newspapers, websites and other digital outlets. When founded in 1987, Creators Syndicate became one of the few successful independent syndicates founded since the 1930s and was the first syndicate to allow cartoonists ownership rights to their work.[1] Creators Syndicate is based in Hermosa Beach, California.

In May 2008, Creators Syndicate purchased Copley News Service, a 1955-founded San Diego-based wire service that distributed news, political cartoons and opinion columns.[8]

During the past several years, Creators has expanded its business to include Creators Publishing, Alpha Comedy, a literary and lifestyle magazine, a political website, a podcast network, and Sumner Books, an e-book and audiobook publishing company.
